Hi, Tara!
Many were skeptical and doubted.

I still do...

and of course "they"(whoever that may be) have been reading this site (and others as well)..when one doesn't have any original info. too post on a site...other sites are the first place you go to get it...including videos; images; sound files; etc..the whole 10 yards.....which explains the watermarked images, the links here to trailers,etc....
are some of you sure that perhaps 'wishful thinking' may be blinding your judgement?
PS: feel free to jump on me for that one....

Well.....since you invited.

My only reason for believing that he or his people looked at this site is because it's quite common for celebrities to "Google" themselves.

This site on many occasions, and actually as of just a few hours ago, was at the very top of their list when searching for "Steven Seagal". And, as I said, it is the ONLY one with 24/7 participation and contribution by members, and by far has the largest amount of members for a site devoted exclusively to Steven Seagal.

Truthfully, I don't have "wishful thinking" myself. I'm here for the people and for the participation in this community, as well as for info on Steven Seagal. While you have never, and will never, hear me drool over him

, I have always been a big fan of his and enjoy his movies. But, if this site switched its support to....say...you

, I'd still be here if all the members stayed the same.

Always a pleasure to see you, John!

yes be cautious

KATHYPURDOM · Jul 14, 2004

Suzi you can't let something like this get in your way of going to the site. One of mine was delited. I have no idea, because all I said was that I really am happy that the site was back.
I was upset for a while, but I will go back and still post there.

Hi, Kathy.

I think we all had some posts deleted, including myself. There were two whole days deleted, July 10th and 11th, as well as the first two days the message board was open last week, for which the "Webmaster" left a message today and apologized, stating it was due to technical difficulties.

Hey, stuff happens, eh?

Mama San · Jul 14, 2004

Well, if he or his people are reading "here," then
they must have seen the "Vote for Steven Seagal
Mountain Dew Commerical" thread!!
Somehow I doubt that he or they are!! Apparently
they are having enough problems with the "new" site!
God bless,
Mama san

What about the welcome message, is it supposed to be a video? uh-huh...

I posted a message on the official site about this. I said it would be great if the welcome message was a video of Seagal himself addressing us.
Unfortunantly it got deleted as well.

Serena · Jul 14, 2004

I posted this message in the other thread about the opening of the official site, but thought it warranted repeating here.

The Webmaster left a message in response to Purplelotus' original post, and to which Donna and I added our own separate messages, commending them on the efforts they were making. I thought that was a very nice thing for them to do.

"Thanks to everyone for your kind words !,
Pur, AikiDonna, and Serena, Thank you very much.

---The Webmaster"

suziwong · Jul 14, 2004

Thank you very much for your all wonderful comments and wonderful messages.
I am here,I like my site and I am very happy here. They build their message board and they didn't know how can use. If they read my messages seriously they would be understand that I didn't wrote any bad things about Mr. Seagal and his site.
But they didn't !!!!
I am very sorry !!!
Again Thank you very much for your hospitality and everything.
I LOVE YOU TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!
You are my friends.
Sincerely
suzi

Lotussan · Jul 14, 2004

You're welcome suzi, you are very special for us, you know...
What would we have without all the photos and all the info you bring to the site?

ORANGATUANG · Jul 14, 2004

Ok...can my heart start beating again, it just stop for a tick....I have always had an feeling that we would get something like this happen one day...like i said with total respect for the offical site this one i think his people sit up and take notice..we might have our little bitch fights and that but this site says things more with feelings and the truth.......I will shut up now....

Lotussan · Jul 14, 2004

That site isn't real...I don't think so anyway...We'll see....

ORANGATUANG · Jul 14, 2004

That's true...about some celebs using search engines to see how they a represented on the internet and what info. is being passed around..I have no doubt of that and have seen on TV where in a few cases celebs will say that...I remember some years back(in '97) when Maavwick(she ran a popular Seagal site in those days and claimed to have had phone contact with Seagal on 2 occasions(she posted the conversations on her site)..she asked Seagal about what he thought about internet web-sites about him(in those early days some companies would search for sites just to close them down for using "their" images,videos, etc) their ...Seagal was stated as saying that he never minded web-sites about himself...only asked that what was put on them was the 'truth'(now whether he actually did call her is not really important tho' it made alot of sense to me and seemed something that would fall in line with Seagal's thinking)

I don't personally see anything wrong with wishful thinking myself...I have it also...I just see wishful thinking as wishful thinking and reality as reality(or try to).

of course I think it would be great if Seagal would take time out occasionally..pop on the internet and drop a brief message every once in awhile..I think it would be very postive for him and for his fans.

But, if this site switched its support to....say...you , I'd still be here if all the members stayed the same.

I never understood what was meant by 'switching loyalties' to web-sites...
I can undrstand loyalty or being a devoted fan of someone..but not a web-site..I seem to lack the comprehension of this concept all together.
people usually go to web-sites they enjoy or get something out of...they go back to it often(I go to numerous sites that I have an interest that share.....if a site has the same ole' thing that one reads over and over on many other sites..it doesn't attrach much returns, people don't learn anything thay don't already know,people lose interest and the site usually fades into oblivion or (as I belive in this case)the site can actually be rented out by another party...if a site offers something unique, presented and maintained well, has a new perspective(as this one does) then that will generate an on-going interest and keep the site 'alive'...it grows, people share, learn to have a common respect for others, their opinions, interests, etc....people can 'grow'...obtain some 'insight'.
I always thought the original official site generated much interest and participation(many of who are still around here now)..but extremely lacked in the maintinence dept...any of us that had been going there for a while saw that...and also saw that if something wasn't done about it..the end was just around the corner....
the line about 'if people switched their support ....to say .....you'...
I wasn't looking for 'support"(not even sure what you really meant by that)
as far as I see..Craig and I go back a little while..we've helped each other out and have a decent working web relationship..his site here offers the best Seagal message board and Seagal photo gallery I've ever seen in all the years my site has been up..that's why I link it directly..it would be a bit arrogant and stupid for me to try to start up a MB and Photo Gal..when an excellent one is already in exsistence....being that Seagal wanted the 'truth' on sites is what gave me my view of what my site was going to 'try" to provide...I don't know and never even met Seagal..so I realised what I wanted to do was focus on the interviews and TV appearances Seagal has done in the past where he pretty much speaks for himself...so the reader could make up their own mind..
I never said for anybody not to go to the new 'official' site..on the contrary I said I think though as being Seagal fans we should help the person out(it's obvious he/she is struggling and is new at this sort of thing) ..I couldn't even bring myself to doing the usual bio on my site..because of all the inaccurate info floating around...so I came up with a 'time-line' concept where I could put in the pieces from various audio, video and print interviews into the years where they belonged....this even turned out to be a challenge due to the fact that Seagal doesn't remember the years very well.(he stated that in an interview about being handicapped in that area)
pretty much like evyone if you ask me...I know when in life something happened or I did this or that..put to ask me what exact year is a different story..I can get it around the year but unless it was significant I'd never remember the 'exact' date and year.
I tell ya'....searching for the 'truth' about Steven Seagal and what he's up these days(weaving your way thru repeated and inaccurate info) is more like a 'quest'...lets face it..Seagal doesn't come out in the open too often these days...TV appearances are few and far between; mags and papers are more interested in sales than 'truth'..or will even edit out the non-selling areas of an interview...in the long run..really the only reliable source for info is Seagal himself..and that's what my concept of an 'official site" is...and that's not at all what I see by this new one.

Always a pleasure to see you, John!

and you as well Serena,
John
Ah.........nothing like some coffee and a stimulating conversation in the morning....

Lotussan · Jul 14, 2004

Heather, don't be silly, you know you're my sis...Girl, you gotta a kind heart, so don't sell yourself short ok? Besides, you ain't the only dreamer here...

Oh, I agree with you on this as far as wishful thinking. I usually reserve that, though, for something other than celebrity worship, I guess. Like the children I work with as a nurse didn't have to go through what they do. Like they could find a cure for these things I see every day. That people in the world were a little nicer to each other. You see what I mean, I think.

J.Lucas said:

Certainly. That would be nice--agreed. But, as in the case of yesterday, when "Steven Seagal" left a message for the fans at his website asking them to be patient--did you notice how many people didn't believe it was really him?

Even I don't know for sure what to think. So, if everyone will always doubt it's him, why would he bother?

J.Lucas said:

I'm not sure what you mean by "switching loyalties" either.

J.Lucas said:

This is actually the only web site I've been a member of. I joined it as I was very interested in learning more about Steven Seagal. But I've developed many special friendships here, as have a lot of other members. Maybe it's a "girl thing", who knows.

But still, the biggest thrill is finding a bit of info about Steven on the internet and sharing it with others here. Listening to others' ideas and opinions about his movies, about every aspect of his life, actually. Speculating together, anticipating a new movie together--waiting for the trailer together.

I guess maybe that's what I mean by being devoted to a web site. It's the people, the community of that website, the sharing, the camaraderie, the friendships. Obviously some people spend more time here than others, and it is between those people, I guess, that such feelings really exist.

J.Lucas said:
I always thought the original official site generated much interest and participation(many of who are still around here now).

I wasn't around for the original site, but I did look through the portal that Craig provided a few months back. I read a lot of posts. In all honesty, I don't see much difference than the way it is here now.

the line about 'if people switched their support ....to say .....you'...
I wasn't looking for 'support"(not even sure what you really meant by that)

I'm sorry about that, John.

That was what a dear friend of mine likes to call a "crossed wire" across the internet.

My implication had nothing to do with you personally. I simply meant that even if the site switched to the Unofficial Bugs Bunny Site, I would still be here if the same members stayed. Because, as I've indicated, I greatly enoy being a part of this community and have developed many friendships--both personal and here in the forum. It all goes hand-in-hand with sharing a common interest--Steven Seagal--with your friends.

J.Lucas said:
.....so I came up with a 'time-line' concept where I could put in the pieces from various audio, video and print interviews into the years where they belonged....

You have an excellent website, John. I don't say that to flatter you. I found your site before this one last year when I was looking and that is what actually stimulated my interest to find a forum where I could participate and learn more and exchange opinions and views with others. In all honesty, if I hadn't visited your site first, where I learned many things about Steven Seagal I didn't know, I very possibly would never have pursued looking for more info and may not have ended up here.

J.Lucas said:
I tell ya'....searching for the 'truth' about Steven Seagal and what he's up these days(weaving your way thru repeated and inaccurate info) is more like a 'quest'.

But for some of us, and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, that "search for the truth" is what keeps this forum going strong. That little news article someone found, or a blurb on the internet somewhere, have sparked many, many interesting conversations and debates. It keeps people talking, wondering if it's true, looking for confirmation or denial from other sources. Again, it's really part of the experience of being here, part of the enjoyment of sharing and exchanging facts, rumors, opinions, and ideas.

Thank you very much, John.

I agree 100% about the stimulating conversation.
Only for me it's Diet Pepsi.

Take care.

Suzi, I haven't been around for a couple of days, so it took me a while to catch up - I think Serena is right, it was just a mistake, and a coincidence that just the "suziwong" posts were deleted. You are an amazing Steven Seagal fan, you are the best, and I'm sure they on the official board will find that out sooner or later!

Anyway, WE LOVE YOU HERE, SUZI, SWEET-HEART, SUPER-SPY! And don't you forget it!
